Kathy Festen was our realtor when we sold our home of 39 years. She was incredibly helpful. We first spoke to her 5 years ago, when we were first thinking about selling. We touched base with her a couple times before we were ready and she was always patient, letting us know that we would know when the time was right. When we were ready, she was incredibly helpful and very reasonable with recommendations that would help us get the best possible price. She clearly understood the market in our area and how to best show a house. She met with us several times and never rushed us or made us feel like we were taking too much of her time.
As we went through the process, she had great advice and recommendations on people and businesses we needed to complete the sale and get packed and out of our home. We were out of the state when it went on the market, but everything flowed smoothly through the whole process. She was with us every step of the way!
She had beautiful photos taken (we treasure having them!) and our home sold the first day for more than our asking price!
If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home, you can’t do better than Kathy Festen at Compass!

Elizabeth is an outstanding rep for Compass! She explains every detail thoroughly. I enjoyed my home sale experience with her. She made sure every question, every glitch was answered and taken care of promptly. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking to sell their property

Kathryn Festen was a wonder to work with! She was on top of showing us anywhere we wanted, and kept our heads on straight when somewhere was just not meant for our needs. She was a huge help throughout the entire process and made sure any issues that arose were dealt with swiftly. She truly only wanted the best for us.

I've had the pleasure of working with Amy in the past to buy a house, and just had the pleasure of working with her to sell a house. Amy is extremely knowledgeable, and provides great insights, communication, and makes you feel confident as a buyer or seller. Whether I am looking to buy or sell in the future, I will always look to enlist Amy's assistance!

Working with Kathryn Festen was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our first conversation, we felt like we were in good hands. She took the time to really understand what we needed, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. It felt like we were working with a trusted friend-someone who truly had OUR best interest at heart.

Kathy was patient, knowledgeable, transparent and incredibly responsive. Every question we had(and there were a lot) was answered with clarity, kindness and understanding. When unexpected things came up, Kathy handled them calmly and professionally, always keeping us informed and grounded.
What meant the most to us was how much Kathy genuinely cared-not just about a closing deal, but making sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. That kind of care is rare.

We are so grateful we had Kathy by our side, and we’d recommend Kathy to anyone one without hesitation.

I can't say enough positive remarks about working with Kathryn Festen as my realtor. From the very first moment I was connected through her via a recommendation, she was on top of everything and so attentive to my questions and desires in purchasing my first home. She is honest and never makes you feel like she's just trying to get a sale - she cares about finding the right home for YOU while being realistic about the current market. Communication was stellar at all steps of the journey, even after the purchase is concluded. I feel confident I could contact her at any time for assistance in any matters related to my home. I also loved the use of the Compass App which tailors home recommendations based on your preferences and allows you to organize interested/not interested smoothly to help wade through homes on the market (or coming soon). Lastly, Kathy has a great team of connections who I could similarly rave about including a contract lawyer and lender to help minimize the work of finding and vetting your own. I would recommend Kathy and this company to any family and friends!

Kathryn was absolutely amazing throughout my home-buying journey! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions and concerns, but Kathryn’s expertise, patience, and support made the entire process smooth and manageable. She was always quick to respond and flexible with scheduling showings, which made it so much easier to navigate a competitive market. Her thoughtful tips and advice were invaluable, especially for someone new to the experience. Kathryn truly went above and beyond to guide me every step of the way, making sure I felt confident and informed throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I highly recommend Kathryn for all your home-buying needs!

Sheila Wollmuth was amazing! This was our first time selling a home and Sheila made the process as smooth as possible. Shelia was well-informed on the local market and helped us make informed decisions. She took the time to explain each stage of the process step-by-step, was patient with all of our questions, and was communicative throughout. Sheila went above and beyond in supporting us, from getting our home ready for showings all the way through closing. We are so grateful for all her kindness and positivity.

I recently sold my home after living in it for almost 24 years. To say I was nervous about the whole selling process was an understatement. I was introduced to Amy Foote and her team Foote through a friend's referral. After our initial meeting, I felt relieved that I was working with a professional (not someone who is in real estate part time). Throughout the selling process, Amy was always updating me, explaining each step (something I appreciated). As we approached the closing date, the unthinkable happened, the buyers financing fell through. Almost immediately, Amy stepped up and was able to guide the buyer's realtor through the process to get the buyer re-qualified. Without Amy's help, I truly believe the whole deal would have fallen apart.

Amy is a true professional. If you are in the buying or selling scenario, I highly recommend giving Amy Foote a call.

I really enjoyed working with Amy Foote. She is the consummate professional. I hired Amy to help me sale my home. Upon my first one on one meeting with Amy my first impressions were her professionalism, and how well she understood the current market trends in my area. She reassured me numerous times my home would sell quickly. To assist with getting the most money out of the home she put me in contact with a home stager (Sheila) who was fabulous in her suggestions of how best to show the house which I did my best to follow. Another thing that impressed me was her communication from start to finish. I have known friends and family who have worked with other realtors and barely heard from them after they signed the contract. I felt once I signed with Amy, I became part of her team, and she took me under her wing and helped educate me in the process of selling a home. Her weekly status updates and reach outs when she needed more information for me made me feel I was included in the process from start to finish. She responded timely to answer all my questions and eased my worries and concerns throughout the process. Once things in my life calm down a bit and I am ready to purchase my next home, Amy will be the first and only person I will contact.

I would like to express my gratitude to Amy Foote and the Foote Team in executing the sale of our home in the Dundee area. This was not a normal sale of a house, as we had to make an abrupt decision to move at the beginning of the year and would not be able to personally take care of many small details that were required to make the sale complete.
Being out of State during the sale of the house I had thought would be a very uncomfortable situation, but Amy kept us up to date on everything that was required to be done and all other details that we had to make decisions on. I can honestly say that there were days we did not even remember we had a house for sale out of State because Compass took care of everything for us.
On the first day of our open house, there was an unexpected snow storm that hit the area. Amy called and suggested that we should probably have the driveway, walkway and porch cleared and salted so that perspective buyers would not have to drudge through the snow and to also provide a safe passage up to and in the house. I certainly couldn't personally take care of this, so the Foote Team gave me several contacts for local plowmen that might be able to take care of the property. Phone call were made and a contract signed in time for our open house. This is just one of the many small circumstances that came up that the Foote Team quickly and professionally took care of for us.

Above and beyond, a simple phrase I believe best fits the Foote Team at Compass. Thank you again Amy!

Oh yea, the House remained on the market for only a couple days in a very competitive market. Quick sale with a price we were very happy with. There is no reason to look anywhere else but Team Foote if you are looking to sell your house.

Working with the Foote Team at compass was like striking oil in your back yard for me and my wife. We bought our home in the summer of 2023, and the market was almost nonexistent. I honestly believe had we not found Amy, we would not have the home of our dreams. Amy and her team were incredibly knowledgeable in pretty much every aspect with the home purchasing possess. She even steered me away when she felt like there was a concern about one home we looked at. From that point forward my Wife and I looked at her as a family friend more than a realtor. My wife and I actually talked about being bummed out once we closed on the house that we wouldn't get to Work with Amy anymore. lol. A year later and we still get emails and texts from Amy and compass inviting us to fun family activities they have going on. were just so thankful to have met and worked with Amy and her team.

Sheila was amazing! She was very informative & efficient from the very start & all throughout the home selling price. She explained everything & is always available with any questions & suggestions. She knows how to set the right price, is amazing at staging recommendations & photography & really listens & helps guide you along the process. She sold our home quickly & made the process seamless. Of course I also wanted Sheila to help me buy a new home & she was very patient with me. She really took her time to understand my needs, likes & dislikes & made sure I really understood everything I needed during the buying process. Sheila is so helpful in coordinating everything that goes into this process, always keeping you informed. She is very knowledgeable & works very hard to make a stressful situation easy & enjoyable.

That property was still available, she got the application ready and guided us through that process with great detail. We were approved and moved in within 2 weeks of my first email to her. Sheila was very responsive and available for every question I had. I highly recommend her and the Compass group.

We had a wonderful experience with Amy during the sale of our home. She initially presented us with a wealth of information tailored to a home seller, and followed up with a comprehensive package regarding our home specifically. She showed us all the comparable listings and explained how they would affect our sale. She gave us a realistic idea of profits based on a few different sales prices. Once we decided on our price, she listed our home. Although the sale process didn’t take very long, the closing process did and Amy was there every step of the way offering encouragement and answering all the questions we and our attorney had. We highly recommend Amy as a stellar real estate agent. She has the support of Compass who also have so much to offer. We will definitely call on her again if the need arises.

Brando Maurer will work with you to make your desires a reality. Brando Maurer is also very well versed at dealing with other real estate agents.

We were looking for a real estate agent and a friend of ours recommended that we contact Elizabeth (Buffy) Oine. We contacted her and immediately she responded, and we met. After a few minutes into our meeting, we knew that Buffy was our agent going forward. Her attention to detail, knowledge and communication skills makes her a top real estate agent. Within 6 weeks we had our new home purchased and our existing home sold. Buffy's commitment to her clients is superb.

Careese was amazing! We had been thinking about selling and had just started looking, but I had been hesitant to reach out to an agent because well, some are not great and some are pushy, but I ended up at an open-house where I met Careese. She very kindly asked what I was looking for and if I had an agent, I explained and she asked if it would be okay if she sent me some listings to look at, no pressure, no contract, and if I liked any of them, we would go from there. About 2 weeks later we signed a contract with Careese and The Foote Team and about 3 months later we closed on the sale of our old home and closed on the purchase of our forever home; we met Careese and everything just fell into place. Careese is always available to answer questions even if they are about the smallest detail of a home or process and to commiserate with you when offers are rejected. Careese was very patient with my list of 'must-haves', target location changes, and the slew of unbelievable home selling situations that you could write a book about. We met 3 other Foote Team Agents during our process and all were extremely professional and just friendly.
The Foote Team took turns hosting open houses at our home to ensure we had the most foot traffic possible. They were all honest and want you to get exactly what you are looking for. Working with Careese and The Foote Team was extremely easy and we couldn't be happier. If we ever sell/buy again, we will be using Careese and The Foote Team and we definitely recommend Careese and The Foote Team for any real estate needs you have.

It was our first time selling a house from an estate. It was also an H.O.A. house, which posed some extra hurdles. Buffy took the lead and helped us through the many processes.

Amy Foote, and the rest of her team, minimized the stress of selling our home and buying another. She was especially very patient with us in finding the right house to buy, which was made quite difficult by our high degree of selectivity.

Her knowledge, of both the area we were selling from and where we were looking to buy, and her (1) advice on what to do to prepare our house for going on the market, (2) identifying quirks in certain houses during the many showings we dragged her on, and (3) making it clear what we needed to do and when, were invaluable. In addition, her team members (Jim, securing a competitive mortgage loan, and Sheila, directing the staging of our house and shooting an impressive video), contributed significantly.

Highly recommend.

As first-time home buyers in a crazy market, my wife and I relied heavily on the expertise of Amy and Jim from the Foote Team to find the perfect house for our growing family. Amy was with us for dozens of showings and nearly a dozen offers. The house we were lucky enough to end up in only happened because she was willing to meet us at the property at the drop of a hat, as soon as the listing was public. In this market, timing seems to be everything.
Similarly, Jim worked closely with us to answer a million questions about the financing process and helped us to secure a loan at the best possible rate, and prepared us for closing on the house. Jim took all of the guesswork out of the process for us and helped us understand how much cash we needed on hand to close and what our monthly obligations would be.
I'd probably consider myself a high-maintenance client because I needed to know the inner workings about the entire process before moving forward with a decision and probably asked a lot of atypical questions. Amy and Jim handled it all with grace and helped us stay positive throughout the process.
I'd recommend The Foote Team to anyone who is looking to purchase a house in any type of market conditions.

My husband and I have worked with Amy Foote and her team twice in the past five years — first to sell our personal residence and then to sell my parents’ home. To say I am happy with their services is almost an understatement — delighted, wowed, impressed, blown away all apply. Amy is a superstar — you can tell she loves her job, is passionate about the work, is unbelievably knowledgeable, and will work tirelessly on behalf of her clients. I never felt like I wasn’t in the best of hands. She would get back to me almost immediately when I would text or email a question, and when issues and challenges popped up during the process, she was all over it — getting answers to questions, taking care of business, solving problems. At a time when customer service is so lacking in so many places of business and competent people seem hard to find, the Foote Team is a breath of fresh air. They really are superstars all around in the way they do business. I would never sell or buy a home with anyone else.

We have used the Foote team to buy a house, get a mortgage, rent out a house, screen tenants and finally sell a house. Nothing but good things to say for each interaction. Amy was more than patient and helpful while we searched for a house to buy. She was a great resource while we screened potential tenants and helped up us to find great tenants. Jim was fantastic to work with while we worked through getting pre approved for a mortgage and finally obtaining one. Finally we sold a house with Amy and she made the process simple, quick and smooth. She had a number of good resources for us to use as we prepped the house for sale. All in all we have had many interactions withe Foote team over the last 7 years and they have all been positive experiences.

Amy and her team were great!

We needed to sell my moms house a year after my dad passed as it was just way yoo much house for just her. She was mobing to a smaller home in a senior community.

Amy took the lead in evaluating and pricing the home to both get the maximum price and quick sale. Especially good was the pre listing buzz on the house so we had dozens walk thru on the first day. Even though the house had not been updated much in the past 15 years we were able to close in just about six weeks of hitting the market.

Thanks again Amy and team!

Amy was so much fun to work with. She made sure we got what we were looking for and didn’t let us settle on a house out of desperation. She always answered our questions quickly and never made us feel like we couldn’t ask her about anything. She simplified everything for us so we didn’t get overwhelmed and was very organized throughout the whole process. We now own our first home and it’s a big thanks to her and her team. We felt like we were getting all the information, not sugar coated, and were working with a very honest person who is genuinely trying to help us meet our goals. I know if we’re ever in the market again we will be calling her right away!

Wow! Careese made buying a house such a breeze! My boyfriend and I were new to home buying, and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Careese was professional and personal! She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way! I highly recommend Careese!

Amy was amazing! She was the listing agent for our house in the Joliet area. Very professional with a network of individuals who helped with every little bump in the road. Our attorney also complimented her, saying he wished every realtor was a resourceful, organized and responsive as Amy. Generally I do not provide reviews and it is pretty difficult to exceed my expectations but Amy definitely did and deserves an excellent review. I would not hesitate in recommending her.

Every day we all face some challenges, and small rewards are hard to come by. Looking for the "right" realtor and buying a home from far away land (Japan) was extremely challenging. We were fortunate enough to find Amy (along with her contacts and team) to make our challenges less of a burden through a little research. From the start of our preapproval to selecting the home and its various nuances, Amy was there for us and stood by us. Professionalism at its finest! We recently closed on our new home with Amy's help, and we give her our highest recommendation.

Amy is truly amazing. She has a big heart, works super hard, thinks things through carefully and expresses herself very clearly and quickly. She mapped out clear options for us that were spot-on for the market. She looked out for us and went the extra mile in so many ways. We never met in person because of the pandemic, but I totally would have hugged her. Amy was so positive and kind in a difficult time, and I’m so grateful for her.

As an update to the below, Amy assisted my wife and I on our recent sale and purchase. I have always prized and appreciated Amy as a Realtor from the attorney side, and now can comment on her from the clients side as well. All that I said below is still applicable and Amy was fantastic in getting our property up and ready to sell. Photos, videos and descriptions were perfect. We listed the house on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, even though that is usually a slow time. We did this on Amy's advise. We had six showings that day and 4 offer with 5 more showings to take place on Wedensday. By Wednesday night we had a list price cash offer and were ready to move forward with our buy. Thank you Amy for all your hard work. Kudos to Jim Foote and -Direct Mortgage as well for getting us a great interest rate and getting thins approved and pushed trough in less then a month.

I am a real estate attorney, and have been so for 40 years, and have worked with a number of real estate agents overt that time. I have worked closely with Amy and her team for the last 13+ years on numerous sales and purchases. My interaction with her and her team members comes once the contract is signed and the property is under contract, but Amy has also reached out to me pre-contract to get input or seek answers for clients to pre-contract questions. Amy is incredibly diligent, is superb at managing the transaction and always on top of what needs to be done, knowledgeable in her field and is a great client advocate. Amy is one of the finest real estate agents I have worked with and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to assist them with a home sale or purchase. She and her team get the job done and deliver great customer service.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further! Amy was my realtor for my first home purchase and went above and beyond to explain every single detail of the process to me. I always knew were I was at in the process as Amy provided status updates on the loan approval, appraisal, etc. Amy is extremely knowledgable about real estate and answered all of my questions in depth. Amy was able to explain to me how certain upgrades would impact the value of the home if I were able to sell it, which was incredibly insightful when looking at houses from a long term investment perspective. Overall I had an amazing experience working with Amy!

From the beginning, it is easy to see that she puts a great deal of energy into her work on your behalf. She'll listen to your concerns and wants and then address them in ways that are digestible. If you're looking to buy or sell, you can't do better!

My wife and I had to move from Florida to Illinois to be near family. Working with our first realtor was a flop. We found Amy and everything became easier and much less stressful. Amy was very attentive and actually listen to our needs, showed homes that met what we wanted that she found and was always eager to show us homes we found on the web, realtor pamphlets or in newspaper listings. Finally she found the perfect home, in a great location that met all our needs. Then Amy and her team guided us through whole process to obtain the home.

Amy Foote has been our beloved realtor for years. She has found 4 homes in recent years for us and for our grown children. She doesn't just post the listing on MLS & let it sit; she actively promotes it so that it sells as quickly as possible. When a neighbor's house was for sale for nearly a year with no movement, we referred them to Amy & she sold it for them in just a few days. Jim's financial expertise as a mortgage broker makes them a one-stop team. Amy's extensive knowledge of the area & her real estate expertise are 2nd to none. We will never go anywhere else! We love Amy & we highly recommend the Foote Team!
